Presented by Bruce Chalmer, Ph.D. and Judy Alexander, MAED

In this two-part presentation, Bruce Chalmer and Judy Alexander talk sex—why it’s good for you and how to make it better—from a Jewish perspective.

In Part I, “Sex, Good Sex, and Sacred Sex,” Bruce talks about:

The importance of intimacy to a couple, and how sex fits in a couple’s intimate life

Why faith—not necessarily religious—is vital for intimacy

How Judaism has viewed sex

How to go from plain old sex, to good sex, to sacred sex

In Part II, “The Blue Tent: Sexual Midrash,” Judy talks about:

What is midrash

Sex in the Bible and traditional midrashic texts

The idea for the book The Blue Tent: Erotic Tales from the Bible by Laria Zylber (okay, that’s a pseudonym—you can probably guess the author’s actual name)

Judy then reads some non-explicit portions of the book.

This presentation is intended for adults. It does not contain explicit visual material or explicit erotic text, but does talk in frank terms about sex.
